Baubles, Bling, and Complementary Rings

Partners.  Soulmates.  Kindred spirits.  Lovers.  Husband and wife… a union that is often celebrated with a pair of matching wedding bands.  Twenty-five years ago, our wedding band case was overflowing with everything from classic plain gold duos to pairs of tri-color entwined braids.  Nearly every couple purchased matching bands.  In the years since, both couples and the rings that represent their love have evolved.  Today, more often than not, wedding rings are complementary, like these.

Both made near the turn of the century, these rings embrace everything the Edwardian era had to offer.  First, let’s look at the ladies ring.  Created from both yellow and white 18-karat gold, this elegant ring contains one Old European Cut diamond as the center stone.  This slightly warm gem (K-L in color) weighs approximately 1.30 carats.  Nestled deep within the octagonal-shaped top, this diamond has a clarity grade of VS1-2.  Cascading down the shoulders and wrapping around the sides are intricate engraved patterns; it’s on our site with a newly reduced price of $5700.00.

Comparatively, the gents ring is made from 14-karat gold.  This ring also showcases two-tone appeal.  Just like its counterpart, the shoulders of this ring are inset with white gold segments.  The graduated pattern carved into the shoulders of this ring is identical to the decoration of the ladies ring.  Additional engraving surrounds the center, it offers a more masculine look of both linear and pierced design elements.

Winking from the center of this ring is a .55 carat European Cut diamond.  Exhibiting a fancy deep brown-yellow color, this antique stone has a clarity grade of SI and is priced at just $1385.00.  These two vintage pieces have so much in common and yet also proclaim their own uniqueness. 

Shown on the hand, it’s easy to see how great they look together.  If you and your significant other have been searching for the ideal way to symbolize your commitment – look no further.  Both rings are available now.

Baubles, Bling, and Complementary Rings

Crafted over four decades apart, this unique duo of rings offer a harmonious blend of cool white gold and stark black onyx.  These rings have been a popular go-to choice for nearly 100 years.  The classic color combination of black and white is a style that appeals to a wide audience of jewelry lovers everywhere.  

Many of these simplistic beauties were made near the end of the Art Deco era in the 1930’s.  This ladies ring is one such example.  With an artfully sculpted hourglass shape, the 10-karat white gold ring has an elegant allure.  The onyx center stone presents with a softly arched profile that takes up almost the entire top of the piece.  A narrow framework holds it in place with prongs located at 12, 3, 6 and 9:00 o’clock.

One tiny single-cut diamond is nestled within a diamond-shaped setting on top of the onyx stone.  Graceful lines pair with polished sophistication in this 1930’s gem, priced at just $275.00.

It’s handsome counterpart was crafted in the 1970’s.  Designed for a larger hand, this ring is made from 18-karat white gold.  Polished to a pristine shine, the wide shank meets the center section at a perpendicular angle.  The middle of this ring is set with a curved black onyx.  It is the same shape as the onyx in the ladies ring, although this one is set in an east/west orientation.  

Flanking the onyx are two lines of diamonds.  Each one is set with four single-cut diamonds – these stones have a combined weight of .25 carat.  Adding a hint of sparkle to this otherwise stark ring, the diamonds are a much needed bright spot in this ring – it’s available now for $950.00.

These two ring aren’t wedding bands – and they don’t match.  However, they sing together in perfect harmony.  If you and your sweetheart are looking for an outward symbol of your connection, this pair of rings is ideal!  They’re available on our website – click on over and check them out.
